WHAT IS A GICLEE?

The word Giclee is derived from the French language and means "to spray, jet, or spurt." A Giclee is a fine art print produced on high quality acid -free watercolor paper.

A Giclee often exudes vibrance of color and are created with archival inks (over 6 inks opposed to 4, for these prints)that will last up to 200 years with proper handling and of course, protection from direct sunlight.

A Giclee is the highest quality print that can be produced with today's technology to best replicate the integrity of the original art. They are printed digitally where the artist can control the quality at a much higher level than any other print method.

Each of Nicole's Giclees are touched up by hand, re-signed , dated and numbered. Nicole only creates giclees for specific paintings and keeps the edition limited to 100, more often only 50.

All of Nicole's work is framed with acid free archival materials from front to back, including the tapes used to hinge the matte boards and watercolor paper to the boards. The glass (or plexiglas used for the larger pieces (32 x 40) are UV treated to help ensure the archival properties of the print.
